Alberta CARE is an expansion of Northern CARE which was established in 1994.
Our Goals
The goals of Alberta CARE, are summarized, as follows:
- Coordinate recycling and waste management activities at the community level.
- Establish partnerships that will bring together diverse interest groups towards a common focus and implementation strategy for recycling and waste management.

- Promote awareness of new recycling initiatives to the general public.
Our Focus
Specifically, the focus is to support communities, recycling groups and institutions, especially schools in implementing a waste recycling culture.
This support consists of coordinating the purchase of recycling bins and related equipment, education seminars on composting and recycling in schools, organizing annual conferences and holding regular operator workshops to review recycling issues and strategies.
These activities have encouraged individuals and communities to make recycling a part of their personal involvement and corporate culture in enhancing the environment and resource recovery.
